So, flying from Nairobi to London last night it soon became obvious that the UK was having another weather nightmare. We made an early decision to divert to Lyon, in France rather than continue and simply end up somewhere like Glasgow two hours later. We are the first Virgin Atlantic aircraft they’ve seen here and [...] I’ve put together a short (2 min) video of some of the flying at RAF Cottesmore yesterday, 15 December 2010. These were the final flights of the Harrier in RAF and RN service.

Leave a comment Your intrepid reporter is today at RAF Cottesmore for the final flights of the Harrier. The briefing has taken place but the weather is punk so it remains to be seen how much flying actually takes place. The 16-ship flypast is planned for 1500. The final Harrier flights take place today, 10 December 2010, at the home of the Harrier, RAF Wittering. For more details see the key.aero report. At the Royal Albert Hall, 6 December. Thanks to John for passing this on. |
